Lawrence LaDouceur: The Bedford Ranter
God bless Russel Fong. We've been wanting to interview this dude for months but were frankly a little terrified. If you've ever visited Williamsburg, you've undoubtedly seen/heard him. His name is Lawrence LaDouceur, aka The Bedford Ranter.

My father is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, How anyone could want to examine his belief system is beyond me, there isn't one. He is an example of the health care problems with the nation. People who truly need help never get it. I would also be obliged if I could get the raw footage.

dear miss rachel,
yes I am probably retarded, even though I don't see how that relates to my comment which was simply "excellent job". if you can't express criticism in a civilized manner, then I am tempted to feel a wee bit sorry for you.

Um UN:art:IG, are you retarded?? Lawrence is a fucking lunatic schizo!!! Why would you think that reasoning with him would be a good idea? You should have your head examined.

OMG IT'S SKELETOR! That dude used to yell at me atleast once a week last summer. He used to piss me off so hard while I was waiting for the bus on Bed & N7th

I saw him get in a fight one night, he got this guy so worked up that the dude attacked him. It was crazy!! After being hit in the face Lawrence just started laughing in the other guys face saying "is that all ya got?"...it was pretty disturbing and probably one of the most bizarre things I have witnessed in a long time.

Having a sympathetic take on this guy seems a little silly and irresponsible. His rants are clearly anti-semitic and xenophobic. I've actually tried talking to this guy, but instead of having a conversation he tends to just rant his one sided nonsense then walk away when he gets flustered. Should have scrutinized his belief system more instead of letting him again rant more and document it. Interesting to see how he lives though.
